My 11 year old daughter has only 8 permanent teeth and the rest are baby. since she was a baby she got her 1st teeth later than usual. is this normal?

See A Dentist: The timing of tooth eruption can vary from person to person. In order to determine if your daughter is delayed or not, a dental evaluation needs to be performed with the appropriate radiograph(s) to determine the location, development, and presence or absence of the permanent teeth.

No: By age 11 most of the 20 baby teeth should have been replaced with permanent teeth. Even with a late eruption pattern your daughter should have at least 12 permanent teeth present. Would be prudent to see a dento-facial growth and development expert, a fully qualified Orthodontic Specialist, for an initial examination (usually free).

Not abnormal: Some children will get their teeth earlier while others later. When the teeth come in later than average, it is called delayed tooth eruption. If concerned, see a pedodontist, dentist for kids. Take care.
